Glory POV:
We finally made it back to the rain forest, thankfully met with no resistance. Deathbringer was still asleep, but healed to my relief. I don't think I've ever seen Tsunami any happier when Riptide got back, I think she likes him. No, like's an understatement. She loved him, she's barely ever calm and not bossy, at least not with anyone else, and right when he appeared, she tackled him to the ground, hit him, then Kissed Him! I was then snapped out of my thoughts when a wing was put on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Stargazer was there. "He'll be fine, he still needs some rest. Right now your kingdom needs you." he said reassuringly. I nodded and said, "I'll be out in a minute." He left and it was just me and Deathbringer. He looks so peaceful. If only we could keep the peace. I wonder what Deathbringer did to Morrowseer? He said he was going to die eventually, maybe that should slow Blister down a bit. It hurt seeing him like this. I felt like cuddling beside him and crying, but right now my kingdom needs me. I gently brushed his snout with mine, and then walked out. I took a deep breath, and flew to the arboretum.
Everyone was there, and I mean everyone. The place looked like it would explode at the slightest movement. I took my place on the queen's stand and cleared my throat. "As we all know, we've managed to get everyone that was captured by Blister and her army out, but that doesn't mean that we're done and free. Blister still plans to invade wherever Stargazer lives, and it's best that we be prepared to move out at a moments notice. Also on another note, I've received word that Morrowseer, Mr. Tall Dark and Crispy." I remembered that from Stargazer. That crowd laughed a little. "He's been poisoned by something. I don't know exactly what, but he may die within the week." There a lot of cheering, but not as much as I expected. "And it was done by yours truly." a voice all to familiar said loud and proud. I turned to meet Deathbringer's eyes and I brushed his wing with mine. There were a few more cheers, but it was very small and quiet. Still not completely trusted, but he will eventually earn their respect. "Anyways," I said smiling that Deathy had woken up, "This should but a good dent in Blister's confidence and defenses." One dragon rose their claw. "Are you going to kill her?" he asked, now remembering him as Mangrove. "Well, most likely not, but if it comes to that yes." I answered. "What about Scarlet? Or Glacier?" another dragon asked. "I don't know about them. So is there any more questions?" No one spoke up. "Then you all are dismissed." I called, and everyone left.
I was back in the meeting hut, going away with dragons' requests or questions, but everyone was tense. I could feel it. Was I right to share the news that Morrowseer was going to die? I probably should have given some sort inspirational of inspirational speech. Deathbringer must have noticed my fidgeting and uneasiness cause he put his claw on mine. I met his gaze, and his eyes were filled with longing. "Glory, is something bothering you?" he asked calmly. I gently shook my head even though I wanted to say no, but he would know, it's Deathbringer for moons sake. "I'm sure whatever you're feeling down with, I can help." he said now holding my claw. "It's not sadness that's bothering me." I looked down. "It's what we're going to do when we finally have Blister at our mercy. I'm worried I might make a mistake and be made to look like the bad guy. Also, what exactly did you poison Morrowseer with?" I said voice cracking. "Well, I used one of my discs to poison him, and what he's poisoned with is some mix between sandwing poison and some nightwing bacteria. Slow working, but it gets to ya without a cure in time. And as for Blister, you don't need to worry about her yet. Worry about it when we do have her. And as for that scavenger, I'm killing him first chance I get." he said. I laughed a little. "Is it because scavengers scare you?" I joked. "No," he said sternly, "They just creep me out." He shuddered a little. "How about we let Stargazer handle him." I suggested. He nodded and pulled me into a hug. "Oh Glory, I have one more thing to tell you." he whispered. "Yes?" I asked. "I love you." I smiled so widely I felt like Sunny on one off her happy days, and she's always happy. "I love you too." I whispered.
Blister POV:
I woke up to a soldier trying to wake me up. "What is It!" I asked harshly waving my tail near his face. "T-The prisoners h-have," he stopped. "Have what?" I hissed. "They've escaped your majesty." he finally said. I growled loudly and stabbed him in the shoulder out of rage, but didn't poison him. He cringed and gritted his teeth, but didn't yell in pain, so he most likely expected me to stab him. "I want scouts posted all over the continent, most at the rain forest. No one sets foot out of their kingdom without my knowing!" I yelled possibly waking everyone in the came up. I heard Morrowseer groan behind me. I turned to see him getting up. "Morning Seer." I said trying to sound calm, but it didn't help much. "Morning to you too." he said. He took a couple steps, then he collapsed on the ground. I rushed over to help him up. "Are you ok?" I asked worriedly. "I'm good, leg just still numb from sleeping on it." he said getting back up. I sighed in relief. "Let's get ready to move." I said. We walked outside and saw soldiers getting ready to move out. Morrowseer seemed a little off. He was shaky and he coughed. "You don't seem well, maybe you should stay and rest." I said. "No No, I'm fine, just a." he coughed more, "slight cold." I sighed again. We continued to observe everyone. Drago was nowhere to be seen, probably yelling orders to his men.
"Well Queen Blister, this sure is thrilling to actually set out off the continent. We just might become legends." I heard Scarlet say behind us. "Yes, it does appear that way." I said plainly. "What do you say, once we conquer this foreign land, we should make the inhabitants fight in my arena. It should bring entertainment for years to come if what this Drago guy says is true?" Morrowseer coughed again, but this cough was different. A little blood had come out. "Morrowseer honey, I really think you should go see the healer. Your cough is getting worse. I don't feel like doing this alone." I said with worry. "Very well your highness." he said. I nudged him in the shoulder affectionately. "You don't need that 'your highness' nonsense when you're addressing me. We're both at equal status." he smiled and went on his way. "Oh Blister, are you going soft for him? You sly dragon." Scarlet said jokingly. I hissed and raised my tail. "No." Scarlet only smirked. "Admit it, not only to me, but yourself. You going mushy over him. I faced the same thing." she pressed. I rolled my eyes. "Ok, I might be falling for him." I admitted after a few hesitations. "See, not that hard now was it? Now let's go see what Glacier's up to?" Scarlet said running off to go find Glacier. I layed down on the grown smiling. He is quite hansom, even after the volcano accident. "I guess I do love him." I whispered. "But that can make one blind and weak. You never know when you might be faced with a difficult choice." I heard Drago say, and I jumped a little. "Well, I mean yeah it can happen, but it's not like that." I said turning around. He grumbled a little. "I expect this to be a great year. When you rule the dragons, and me the humans. Does that sound nice?" he said in his low voice. I nodded. "Then perhaps you should focus more on the task at hand, and when it's done, then you can go off and mess around with him." he growled and walked away. Moons that scavenger really knows how to get under your scales. Even to me, he's creepy. I got up and stood straight. Maybe he's right. I need to focus on the task at hand, not being soft. I walked off to see what Scarlet and Glacier are up to. Did I do the right thing to ally myself with this scavenger though? I do want power and control, but it feels like I'm missing the big picture.
